I don't mean I'm transgender or transethnic or anything like that [is it even possible to be trans-age?]. I am cis-female, and caucasian. Technically.

The thing is that I literally never think about my age, gender, or race unless it's specifically brought up by someone else. And every time I do think about it, I come out with the same answer: "I am ME".

I mean, I know that I'm female and caucasian and I know my age because those are all facts. But I don't... FEEL any of it. I don't feel particularly feminine or masculine, white, black, young or old. I just... exist. Just by thinking to myself "I am a man", I can change the gender that I feel, same with skin color or age. But I have to do it consciously [even when trying to identify with my factual gender/age/race].

Even other people tell me that they don't think of me as any specific trait, unless I go out of my way to present as such. I am just ME, and that's all they see me as.

Is it normal to not feel a gender, ethnicity, or age?

    as far as I'm concerned there is only one "ME" and anything that people have in common with me, they are just coping me

    So if a 99 year old toothless man wants to French kiss you he is just him?

    you don't know what it's like being a man or black because you've never been any of those things. you've never had to face discrimination one day in your life. don't pretend to be knowledgeable and holy when all you're doing is exposing your white privilege.

    My gf sounds very similar to you. She is always changing her name and clothing style. I dont think she knows who she is but she loves being the person she is when she wakes up... Wether that is a 19yr old raver or a 30yr manic cleaner that never stops or sits still. My best advice is, wake up,look in a mirror, and ask yourself who do you want to be today to feel happy or normal...? Why just be one person when it sounds like there is lots of you to give to many friends and family... give it a try and let me know if it helped like it helps my girlfriend. :-) x x
